Product Description:
This is the original Walt Disney Pocahontas movie!
Amazon.com:
Disney's take on this historical confrontation between European settlers and Native Americans follows the paths of two future lovers. One is British adventurer John Smith, who travels the Atlantic with the Virginia Company to establish Jamestown. On the shore is Pocahontas, a typical Disney heroine: bright, beautiful, mischievous, and motherless. The two meet in the untamed wilds of America (the first meeting is quite divine), fall in love, and try to ward off the warring factions. It's Disney's version of a Native American West Side Story. Two Disney trademarks do not quite muster up: the villain isn't hissable and the score's only high point is the Oscar-winning "Colors of the Wind." Calling it "historical" is a stretch, but Disney created a very natural look at the two cultures. The Native American characters are handled especially well, and kids should be intrigued by their world; the movie is a far different lesson from the one their parents and grandparents learned. Disney has discovered a few things, though: you don't have to kill to solve your problems, and you can end the film without a happily-ever-after, illustrated by a touching final visual.

I bought this product for all the wrong reasons, for a boy, but even since he didn't work out, I have the movie and this movie is great! There are random crayola marks all over the cover, but it's cute! thanks!!!

It's hilarious reading the bad reviews about Pocahontas. They either complain that the movie is too mature (it tries too hard to be politically correct, and it is too blatant in its portrayal of violence and racism), or that it is too childish (making a mockery of actual history by portraying it in a cartoon-ish and simplistic manner). So, what is it?
The problem is that people already have too many opinions formed about it before they even watch it. People were already protesting 'Pocahontas' ... Read More

After watching the old vhs version of Pocahontas for the first time yesterday, I was somewhat ambivalent about the film. Reading the reviews, however, I realize that Pocahontas has done something remarkable, especially for a "cartoon": it has made Americans discuss serious aspects of our history with each other. I can remember the excitement when Pocahontas came out, that Disney had finally created a non-white heroine. I think we can still feel the ripples of that excitement today, as we talk about the ...

We love Disney movies and have most of them on DVD. Some of them can be pricey. This was a good buy.

This movie was purchased from seller: moviesonsale1, and would not even play half way through. The seller of this product placed information in the evelope with the movie saying that if any negative feedback was received they would no longer be able to help you. They also gave a false phone number as a point of contact. I would never purchase anything from this seller again.
